How to read this table
Grouping by duration of job search allows for comparison between the portion of registered unemployed who find employment quickly and those facing prolonged unemployment. Each row corresponds to a specific duration interval, which, together with the total number of unemployed, defines the labor market structure. Comparing annual figures shows changes in the intensity of placement through state employment services and identifies the predominant job search duration for citizens
